If FTL had no pause you'd have to remember all hotkeys and keep track of your HP, crew, facilities, enemy invaders and enemy ship at same time. And that require some skill

Neither of us have played the game so you can't say this matter of factly... I believe the devs know what they are doing and if the game doesn't have one it won't need it =p

Edit: I'd also watch the gameplay video again to get a feel for the game
